Turtle Beach Cottage
Amazing stay. Had kayaks in the house that we put to great use at the nearby beach. Overall, the house was clean and Louisa was very helpful!

REEF Luxury Home, Ocean View, Large Pool & Hot Spa
A beautiful house in a fantastic spot near Birubi beach and the Tomaree Coastal walk. The layout is great and the house is very stylish. The spa was awesome. Seem small at first but really deep and heats up within 2.5 hours. Plenty of space in the house for a family of 5. Walkable to Birubi beach (10 mins) which is patrolled with a cafe and is great for boogie boarding. Join the coastal walk only 1 min walk away, bring hiking boots as can be a bit muddy/rocky.

Ridge Vista - One Mile Beach
Communication from Jane was excellent. The space was absolutely lovely with stunning views, close to lots of activities and with a well supplied kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Isla Villa Beach House - Shoal Bay
Fantastic property with thoughtful hosts; a wonderful choice for families and kids of all ages. Well maintained amenities and attention to detail made our stay with extended family a delight. The heated pool was a hit - even when it rained - and it was easy to get in and out safely for both the toddler and senior in our group. The wood fire pizza oven is definitely worth cranking for dinner or just to hang in the mini-amphitheatre. The playhouse, car and trampoline kept our little one very entertained. Every room was immaculate and beautifully designed. We were even treated to some local produce courtesy of our host - thanks Lauren! A magical location and very peaceful. Just 10 minutes walk to town and if you’re up for exploring, follow the ‘secret’ track to Wreck beach via the bushland at the rear of the garden. Highly recommend.

The Sandbar-walk to Little Beach & Shoal Bay Beach
We absolutely loved Annie’s house! We had a peaceful and relaxing stay along with our 2 kittens. The pantry is fully stocked with essentials. It’s 2 mins drive to town proper where Woolworths is. It’s 10 mins drive to salamander shopping centre where you can find Kmart, Aldi, Woolworths etc. it’s 11 mins drive to sand dune where all tourist activities are located such as sand boarding and camel riding. Beach is super close too! If you’re looking for a relaxing and affordable place, this is the place to be!

Beach & Bay Holiday House - Nelson Bay
We had an incredible stay at this Airbnb in Nelson Bay! The location is absolutely perfect – just a 15-minute walk to the marina and a short drive to all the main attractions in the area. The house itself was spacious, modern, and exceptionally well-equipped, offering great value for our group of 14. The heated pool was a standout feature – perfectly maintained with just the right amount of chlorine, making it a delightful spot to relax and unwind. Brian and Sue were phenomenal hosts, going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. They even welcomed us with two bottles of wine – such a thoughtful touch! The amenities were modern and well-kept, ensuring a comfortable and hassle-free experience for everyone. This property truly exceeded our expectations, and we wouldn't hesitate to book again. Highly recommended for large groups or families looking for a fantastic getaway in Nelson Bay!

2 Bedroom Townhouse in the heart of The Junction
Cottage is in a great location to The Junction (restaurants, cafes, shopping etc.) and beaches are close by. Darby St is a short walk if you want a larger range of restaurants, bars etc. Having the courtyard out the back was great for enjoying a coffee whilst planning the day. Parking can be a hassle if you expect directly out the front of the place, but there is plenty of street parking either in the street or around the corner.

Newly Renovated paradise, walk to beach/rockpools.

We can highly recommend Hannah. The area offers lots to do for families and the home makes it easy to have a beautiful relaxing time away. Jaymie also responded always promptly and provided us with guidance and assistance when needed. Thank you for offering such a nice home to us and being such a great host!
